JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg dies at 35 after battle with rare cancer
Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, has died at 35 after battling a rare form of leukemia. The journalist and mother of two passed away less than a year after her diagnosis.
She leaves behind two small children.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning,” the foundation posted on its Instagram page, signed by “George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Carolina, Jack, Rose and Rory.
In a personal essay published in the New Yorker last month, the mother of two revealed that she had less than a year to live after being diagnosed with myeloid leukemia with rare mutation.
“Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,” the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, 67, and Edwin Schlossberg, 80, heartbreakingly wrote.
Schlossberg described how doctors discovered the cancer just hours after she gave birth to her second child in May 2024.
She had spent the past 18 months in treatment, receiving a bone-marrow transplant, chemotherapy and blood transfusions. The rare mutation with which Schlossberg is afflicted, Inversion 3, is usually seen in older patients.
Schlossberg, who graduated from Yale and has a Master’s degree from Oxford, previously worked as a journalist at The New York Times and published her first book in 2019.
She has been married to urologist George Moran, whom she met as an undergrad at Yale, since 2017.
